It will be recorded in history books that the day was partly cloudy, temperature was 13°C, with humidity slightly higher than usual. It will be recorded there were no warning signs, nothing unusual about that morning.

It will be strange to explain how the entire population vanished in a single moment.

It will be even harder to understand why one woman was left behind.

Melanie didn’t panic, equanimity was always her strong suit. Instead, she picked up her camera and captured her reflection in a window, thinking: Cheer up, darling. It could be so much worse. He is gone, too.

Well, maybe that is all that was recorded. Imagine that, of all the things to leave for posterity you write about the temperature and humidity. 🙂 Thank you, Claire. It’s always nice to read your comments.

Dear Snow, Great story – Well, to tell the truth, she will be working so hard trying to stay alive (planting/harvesting food; keeping safe water available and so much more – never mind about the electricity that will stop. Sounds like Eve needs to find Adam. Good job!
